OF THE COUNTRY. EXTREME HEAT SHIFTS EAST OVER THE MIDWEST AND
GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY AND EXPANDS TO THE EAST COAST BY MONDAY.
LIGHT WINDS, SUNNY DAYS, RECORD-HIGH DAYTIME, AND HIGH OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE A LACK OF OVERNIGHT COOLING,
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE DANGER. THIS HEAT LEVEL CAN BE
DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WITHOUT EFFECTIVE COOLING AND/OR ADEQUATE
HYDRATION, ESPECIALLY THOSE ENGAGING IN LENGTHY OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES. HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY DURING
EXTREME HEAT. WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT AND LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING. TAKE
ACTION WHEN YOU SEE SYMPTOMS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE.
